The-object of my invention is to facilitate the pegging of hand-made boots' and shoes, and tecx'ecute the work in the neatest,.tl1'e,n1ost perfect, aud substantial manner.

My invention consists in enclosing in a stock the arrangementv and combination ofv mechanism by which the awl is driven into the soleand withdrawn, the peg fed in, out, and placed in' positiomand driven in the hole made, and the stock moved for inserting the next peg, all by'the single blow-of a hammer.

vTo enable others to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe it more ih detail, referring to thedrawings and to the letters OFI-reference marked thereon. l l I j I make the stock or handle A of my improved Iimplement or machinefor pegging hand-made boots and shoes of metal, cast hollow, or in such form as to malte the ways orguides a for the slide Bi to move down and up on, the slide being a round or square'bar'of steel, having a flange, b, end h'ead of leather, or other suitablel substance, c, 'capable Of sustaining the concussion of the blows of' the hammer in operating, the lower portion of the slide being bored ont, so as to admit the spiral spring d in its cavity, for the purpose of bringing it Vback into the proper position to rec'eiveeach successive blow. 4On the side of the slide-bar-B is a rackgear,

e, into which a pinion, f, meshes, which 4is attached to a platen'g, in which is the wristpin,' ,z', to'connect, by the pitman 7i, the awl-shaft D, which is tted to slide inthe movable block'E, tofwhich is fitted lone of the knives, y', to cut the pcg, and place it in the proper position to be driven into .the hole made by the awlF. In the 'same'blOck,`E, is the sliding rod or punch H, which drives -the peg into the sole flushwith the surface by the last part ofthe stroke. The' p-unehH, being provided with a head, L, and spiral spring, Z?, to hold it in position to receive and drive the next peg, the movable block-E being operated by the friction-roller lc on the lower end of the slide B comingin contact with the incline m. In the' lower end of the stock is a stationary piece, K, Y with an opening, a, through it, where the peg-wood is fed in through the guide M', and comes in contact with the vknife N, when the peg is cnt the right size and shape by the other knife, j, on the movable block oi' piece E. The peg-wood, vbeing prepared in long strips, is placed in the guide M, and, by the action of the lever O and ratchet or pawl P, is fed in at the time the awl'is being driven, so that it is in place to be cnt and put in a position to be driven by the last part o f the blow-by the punch H, which receives its blow, and is operated by the plate "Or pieceQ, secured tothe slide B, formingl the hammer or intermediate punch for driving each peg as it is cut 01T the stripR and placed over the hole in the sole made bythe awl F. On the piece Q is formed a ledge, q, ore rib, liavingan inclined plane, r, which comes in contact with a frictionlroller, s, on the top of the lever S, which is retainedpvhen at. rest, by the spring 15.5n the lower end of the lever S is a spring, u, which operates as a pawl -to move the apparatus on the solo the right distance to drive the next` peg, andso on, as each consecutive blow is made on tho head c by a hammer, until the pegging on ofthe sole is completed.

On the bottom of the machine is secured a steel plate, V,with the openings vaud w for the-operating parts to work through. Thegauge W for regulating the distance from the edge of the' sole fordriving the rows of pegs is 'made in the form of -a loopiorvbow, passingrunder the bottom plate V, the arm extending4 up-on the outside ofthe stock Agn both of its edges, where they are secured to the stock by screws a: x, so as to letthe bow W move on the plate V a suicient distance to place'one, two, or more rows of pegs around the sole. One of the arms of the gauge W forms a spring-lever, X, with a point, y, to fit into a series of indentations, z, in thestock A, to hold the gaugel'iin-any llxed position for placing the rows of pegs. l

` The implement, as above described, consists only of a single set of mechanism i'or driving one row of pegs at a time; but by duplicating a portion of the parts, two rows of pegs can be put in equally well-in the saine time by the same operation.

The advantages of my invention over other hand-pegging implements or machines, are that the holes made by the awl are filled with the peg at tbe same time by the Vsaine hlow,leaving no hole in the sole without a pegY when there is peg-wood in the guide. Y

The operation of pegging boots and shoes by my implement is quite easy, and can be done with thegreatest facility, and in the most perfect manner, even` without much practice, only requiring to be'plaeed and held up to the guide, and a blow of the hammer of sufficient force to bring the slide down the required distance, the spacing of the distance between the pegs being entirely automatic, as muchso as the feeding ot' the clothor material in a sewing-'machine, so that no careA in that direction is required.

Having thus fully described my invention, whatI claim as new and-useful, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,ris Y l i 1. VThe stock A, as constructed, and the. sliding punch B, having a toothed rack,`e, connecting with the pinion f, disk g, and pitman L, foroperating the slide D, as herein described.

` 2. Iclaim the movable piece or stock, E, pivoted to the handle or -stock A, for'lio'lding the awlslide or holder D, as also the peg-driving-puneh Hand cutting-blade j, ,as herein set forth.

3. I claim the lever O, pawlP, end guide M, as arranged, in combination with the slide B, for feeding'in thestrips of-peg-wood to be cut bythe combined action of the knives -j and Nand driven by the punch H, substantially as herein spe'cied. f v

4. I claim' the combination of the stationary block K, guide M, cutter N, with the movable block E and knife -j, substantially as and for the purposes herein lset forth.v

5. I claim the arrangement lof the lever S, pawl u, spring t, and friction-roller s, as constructed and eoinbined with the plate Q, and inclined ledge o on the sliding punch 13,80 as to operate for spacing the distance between the pegs as they aredriven, substantially as described.

6. I claimthe gang-e W', spring-lever X, pointy, and index z, in combination with the stock A, for a hand shoe-pegging apparatus, substantiallyy as and for. the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony whereof', I hereuntosubscribe my name in th'e presence of p Y D. D. PALMER.
